I had the same problem on RELENG_8 since yesterday (prev. buildworld on Feb. 28).
I've tried rebuilding the kernel with your patch but no luck.
I had to comment the 'allscreens_flags="MODE_280"' line in my /etc/rc.conf as the monitor was going black with 'NO SIGNAL' on OSD.
You asked to the OP if the box is pingable. I think that you want to know if the kernel is still alive, am I right? I can "blindly" login and reboot the pc while the screen is black.

This is the output of "vidcontrol -i mode":
mode# flags type size font window linear buffer
